## Resource

This week celebrates three landmark Supreme Court rulings that transformed gay rights—Lawrence v. Texas (2003), United States v. Windsor (2013), and Obergefell v. Hodges (2015)—each dismantling legal barriers and affirming marriage equality. These victories didn’t happen overnight but are the result of decades of courageous activism. Their impact extends beyond the courtroom: they’ve reshaped societal acceptance, empowered families, and restored dignity to millions. Yet the fight isn’t over—ongoing vigilance is needed to protect and expand these rights. Meanwhile, cultural shifts are mirrored in theater, like Ensemble Theatre’s “Get Ready,” tracing how Black musicians’ evolving sound reflected broader social change since the 1950s.
